Abstract

A process is disclosed for diagnosing, based on scanned information, one or more conditions of an external body portion and/or one or more features of at least one product applied to the external body portion. The process includes obtaining, with an optical image scanner (12), scanned image data relating to one or more characteristics of a non-dermatoglyphic external portion of an individual, and/or at least one product applied to the external portion. The scanned image data may be obtained in either a first mode involving the scanning of the external portion of the individual when the external portion is in the vicinity of a scanning region (32) of the scanner (12), or a second mode involving placement of a transfer member (34) in contact with the external portion of the individual to provide a visual image on the transfer member, and then scanning of the visual image. The scanned image data may be transferred from a first computer (14) associated with the scanner to a second computer (20) at a remote location. An analysis of the at least one characteristic is conducted based on the image data. The process further includes determining a diagnosis of at least one condition of the external portion, and/or at least one feature of the product applied to the external portion. The process may also involve determining a recommendation of a treatment for the condition and providing this recommendation. In addition, the process may include monitoring of the status of the external body portion during treatment.
